East Riding of Yorkshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

East Riding of Yorkshire's crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 in November 2025 places it 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3, reflecting a consistently safer environment compared to national trends. The area's crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences, which account for 47.2% of all reported crimes, followed by criminal damage and arson (8.5%) and public order offences (8.5%). This pattern aligns with the district's character as a largely rural and coastal region with a mix of urban centres, where high-profile incidents often cluster in populated areas. Seasonal factors in November—such as the dark evenings of Bonfire Night and the commercial activity of Black Friday—may contribute to fluctuations in specific crime types. For instance, the spike in violence and sexual offences could be linked to increased social gatherings, while the relatively low levels of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) may reflect reduced outdoor activity during colder weather. The area's lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (72% below UK average) and bicycle theft (100% below) suggest effective community policing or environmental deterrents, though these trends warrant ongoing monitoring to ensure they persist.

Month-on-month analysis reveals a mixed picture in November 2025, with some crime types rising while others fell sharply. Other crime increased by 25.0% (from 48 to 60), potentially reflecting a surge in unclassified incidents or underreported activities. Bicycle theft rose by 16.7% (12 to 14), which could be linked to the season's increased cycling for leisure or commuting, though the overall rate remains 100% below the UK average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 34.1% (179 to 118), a significant decline that may indicate successful interventions during the month. Possession of weapons fell by 57.1% (14 to 6), suggesting a reduction in illegal firearm activity. The area's violent crime rate (2.1 per 1,000) is 18% below the UK average, while public order offences (0.4 per 1,000) are 15% below national levels. These figures highlight a combination of local enforcement efforts and geographical factors—such as the district's rural expanses—which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. Residents may find the 34.1% drop in anti-social behaviour particularly reassuring, as it directly impacts community safety and quality of life.

East Riding of Yorkshire's crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 in November 2025 represents an 8.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.9, illustrating a downward trend in local crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 54 crimes per day, a figure that, while specific to East Riding, provides a tangible sense of the scale of activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 222 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average (which, though not provided for this specific metric, would be higher given the area's overall 38.4% deficit). With a population of 355,884, the district's crime rate remains a stark contrast to national figures, suggesting a combination of effective policing strategies and environmental factors. For instance, the area's lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (72% below UK levels) and burglary (33% below) may be attributable to its rural and coastal nature, where open spaces and community cohesion can act as natural deterrents. These comparative metrics offer residents a clear benchmark for understanding their local safety context within the broader UK landscape.
